Another point of view i'm having is (bare with me):
If your idea of the perfect life came true, like you explained, then that would mean nothing better in your life, according to your expectations, could occur. (because your definition of the perfect life is already set in your mind).
I could imagine something better happening but that's only because i have a different idea of "the perfect life" than you do- to you, that thing i consider to be better wouldn't be considered better at all.
So this would mean you've reached the highlight of your life- to you, nothing else could ever pass that highlight. So, if you think about it, what you consider to be the best of the best has happened to you- you don't consider anything else better, all that's left is for it to either stay the same OR fall between your fingers (to go downhill, since there is no more "uphill")
No clue if this is making any sense lol
Shouldn't we not close our minds up to the possibilities in life? If you have an idea of the perfect life, what happens when you reach it? Sooner or later you'll probably lose it all and then everything else won't be good enough. Your life goal would have been reached. What's the point of living when your ultimate goal has been reached? What about when you lose grip of that goal (when it goes downhill)? Isn't this like setting yourself up for a trap?
If the very best thing possible happens to you, can it only get worse?
